At least one visitor during our presence at the SYSTEMS 2008 fair expressed he is interested in 6 units to install special encryption software. And, he was looking for an open hardware device because he could then 100% prove to his customers (government, police) what is inside the device. It could be that the combination of long-lived problems and a short-lived product or series just left no window for this to happen. Definitively. Such projects usually have 2-3 years planning phase (from the idea through convincing management, getting a budget, selecting suppliers, negotiating prices, finally making a purchase order etc.). And then typically 3-5 years deployment where replacement, spare parts etc. must remain available and devices must remain compatible to any infrastructure that comes with the project. So for successful project business, one must either provide a product that is available for 5-7 years or at least a consistent roadmap/upgrade plan. This is completely different to a consumer market where the buyer just wants the best product available today. And then comes back after 2 years and wants to have a new one, most likely from a different brand and 100% incompatible. Look e.g. at settop boxes for cable or IP TV. Although they are finally in the hands of consumers, they are deployed through roll-out projects by network operators. So the technology of a device must match the technology of the network at the time of introduction. Which is a constantly moving target and makes it a nightmare for the product managers working for a settop box supplier :) Nikolaus ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [QtMoko] no WLAN support nor USB networking with Windows 7 in QtMoko v18? (FR unusability rant)
As you can probably tell, I was very frustrated and in rant mode when I wrote my original post. My problems were caused by my wrong approach, though. I should have booted QtMoko from SD instead of NAND because SD is far more flexible, especially when troubleshooting. QtMoko v18’s lack of USB networking with Windows 7 was caused by its 2.6.32 kernel config. I have been chatting with radekp (and others) in #openmoko: he tried to help me by providing new kernel images with RNDIS support enabled, but I never got RNDIS working until I switched to QtMoko v19. I know I am a minority Openmoko user because I prefer Windows NT over Linux as a desktop client OS, but I still think the distro maintainers should have a release checklist to prevent releasing a kernel without RNDIS support, for example. RNDIS support is critical for me because I need it for ssh access to my FR. I know I could use a Linux guest in VirtualBox or another virtual machine on my Windows 7 host, but I have been avoiding installing a VM because I fear it will become Yet Another of my countless underestimated projects. Furthermore, I have Ubuntu tower PCs at both home and work. I prefer Cygwin over a Linux guest because Cygwin is better integrated with the host: Cygwin uses the same file system, for example. Anyway, I should not blame distro maintainers for not using a release checklist because I should ask if their new release contains the features and/or support I need before upgrading, especially for a minority case such as RNDIS support. You can read the #openmoko logs on the Web if you are interested in my conversations with radekp (and others). My QtMoko v19 installation in NAND became unusable because my JFFS2 rootfs somehow got partially corrupted while my FR was suspended overnight. I still do not know how that happened, but I learned there is no fsck for JFFS2 only after I needed an fsck to repair my rootfs. I migrated my QtMoko v19 installation from NAND to an 8 GB microSDHC card, which I managed to eventually boot with qi-bootmenu. QtEI restarts when I tell it to “Restart Device” or “Shutdown Device”, though, so I need to try regular Qi instead of qi-bootmenu. My ext3 rootfs on SD got partially corrupted too, though, and apparently I have lost my entire calendar + all of my 400 tasks. :(( I will survive, though: I have tried to spend more effort on progressing than worrying about my non-critical data loss. I should have tried upgrading QtMoko by replacing the kernel image, modules, and /opt/qtmoko/ with the versions from the new release instead of tarring my current installation, starting over with the new release, then trying to copy everything I need from my backup tarball of the previous release. radekp even explicitly mentions this (untested) upgrade path in his recent announcements of QtMoko v20 + v21. radekp’s 2.6.32 kernel apparently now has support for USB Host, but I do not know if it has RNDIS support. Anyway, sorry about my complaining and ranting. Sometimes I allow my actions to be based on my emotions instead of logical reasoning; of course, I lack control over my emotions. I want to help improve my FR experience, including helping radekp make QtMoko the best and most usable FR distro, instead of only complaining without offering constructive criticism. I realise the FR is a community project; I am grateful radekp and others, including Alishams Hassam locally, are willing to help me personally. I know radekp has a wife, 2 children, and a full-time (day) job in addition to his (volunteer) role as QtMoko maintainer. I have a full-time day job too, but it is very flexible and is in a very supportive and understanding environment. I have never been married and have no children, though. I have probably forgotten to mention something important in this message, but I think it will still be sufficient for now. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

How can it do that? I'm very clever. :) I thought tangogps only shows bitmap data? That's correct. The trick is that, since the pre-rendered tile-images are rendered such that line-widths, text-size, icon-size, etc. are all constant across `zoom' levels when displayed at a consistent pixel- density..., I can basically just select a `more zoomed-out' set of tiles, and scale them up by the same (but inverse) amount before displaying them. So, when you select `fewer, bigger details', the code just decreases *pixel-density* and a `zoom-level offset' adjusted accordingly. The map remains at the same zoom-level; but the text and icons get bigger, the streets and other lines get wider; the amount of visual `clutter' decreases, and information-clarity goes up. If you select `more, smaller details', the pixel-density is increased and the zoom-offset adjusted in the other direction. Again, the map remains at the same zoom-level; but the text and icons get smaller, the streets and other lines become thinner; the amount of information visible at a given zoom-level (the information-density) increases.
